Sky Watch: Snow and Ice


The snow came leaving between four and six inches.
Then ice to cover and make the snow glisten.
Branches heavy with snow and ice, yet beautiful!
Treacherous roads of ice and snow.
Downed trees meant ten hours without power.
A huge thanks to those who braved the elements!

  7. Indeed lovely pictures and I am sorry for your loss of power.
    I still would like to walk the road with the bend, even with the snow and ice.Slipping and sliding I would think.

  12. Nice series from your snow covered landscape.
    A little bit dramatic, though.

  27. Looks like my skies, but without the trecherous roads through mountains...thankfully! Stay safe and hope you have power back. Three cheers to all who work in this sort of weather! My in-laws have been without power for 2 days now.

  29. You guys must be really tired of "winter wonderland" and into the realm of "mommy, make it stop!" now. Love the George Winston tune that greeted me upon arrival!

    Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door at the SKY!

  30. It's so gorgeous! Too bad it brings so much misery and suffering with it. Glad you have power again. I heard there are more storms predicted for the south. I hope that they don't materialize and that everyone stays warm and safe.

  32. You have to hand it to those road clearing crews. That's treacherous work. I'm sure they all have a hot thermos of coffee ready at hand!

  33. Trees are as beautiful in winter as in summer. Nature has many ways of culling the weak ones - occasionally at our inconvenience :) A fabulous series of shots Carletta.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Lovely winter scenes. The last is my favourite. So nice to see men at work :)
    Still you have captured the snow flurries so well in one of the shots too.
